! intro, julie

So he's finally here! *cue Kermit flailing of arms* YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY! This will sadly probably be my last character, because i am so abominably slow with apps. Anyway recap... I'm Julie, 28, from Australia and currently an at home person as I've been recovering from broken ankle/leg for past 6 months but hoping to possibly get back to TAFE next year to get back into Graphic Design. Here at AG I'm the deputy mod, not that I've been much of one of late, and my other two characters are Allegra Flint (Slytherin, Fifth Year) and Cassius Warrington (Slytherin, Sixth Year)... er, no i don't have a thing for playing Slytherins. >.>

This here is Rémy Laurent. He's a 7th Year from Beauxbatons; more specifically the 7B class. Er, he does actually have a middle name, but in trying to finish the app off I haven't had a chance to properly think of what it ought to be.

Rémy is a naturally charming, friendly, easy-going type of person. Generally never has a bad word to say about anyone, and that's including people he doesn't like. (OMG don't you just hate him now?) He's the sort of person that prefers the quiet rather than say go to a Quidditch match. He is a completely hopeless romantic (but he's not going to sit around waiting for Prince Charming).
He looooves music! Loves singing and playing his guitar. He's also pretty good with drawing/sketching, but doesn't really pursue it seriously.

As for family he sadly has no siblings, but he's okay with that. His mother, Françoise, is an artist, who despite being muggleborn deals mostly in magical portraiture, murals and landscapes rather than muggle art. His father, Guillaume, helps runs his family's business... which I've yet to figure out what it is except that it leaves the family being moderately wealthy. :/

So where might you see Rémy? Well he's taking Ancient Runes, Arithmancy, Astronomy, Charms, Potions and Transfiguration. So if you take those clases you'll see him around. He's also in the Choir and Drama clubs; and is grateful that the foreign students have been allowed to join. So yay.

Sadly for the girls sighing about French boys, this one is gay... buuuuut there is a bit of plottage where poor Samir thinks that Rémy is straight because he's always seen being friendly with this girl... but that's just Rémy's natural state. The only things we've (Patricia and I) have really figured out (but cant decide on) is a) the poor girl in question doesn't realise that Rémy isn't because well one he's gay and two he kind of has his eye on someone else; or b) the girl is simply one of his Beauxbatons friends.... so kind of have to decide on that.

And to stop myself from rambling on and on I'll end things here, only to say that am totally up for any plot. So friends/frenemies/enemies/whatever apply within. And if you want to read more on the boy just go here.

Any other questions that weren't answered by the profile can be asked in comments I suppose.

- Julie

EDIT: So I realised I forgot to mention whereabouts Rémy comes from/lives. Right so Rémy (when not at school) lives with his parents in a smallish wizarding area in Montpellier in the Languedoc-Rousillon region. Ended up choosing Montpellier because a) sooooooo so pretty, b) er future plottage reasons. >.>

Ooh that does sound kind of nice. *nods* That's probably why I like Rocher and not Bueno then... but stranger still since I don't really like nuts anyway. For instance detest peanuts and peanut butter... but love peanut butter cookies and satay sauce. o.O

I tried posting without the box ticked, and then ticked, and then not ticked... didn't work. so made new intro entry, same process. still did not work. for some reason it finally decided to work when i did an untick and save entry, then edited it to say 2035, ticked the box... and then i was finally able to post the journal entry. ...argh.... still as glitchy as that was IJ is infinitely better than LJ. :|

Well, if you don't like peanuts, then peanut butter is definitely not going to be to your taste since there's no other ingredients (like the chocolate, or the other ingredients in the peanut butter cookies) to alter its flavour slightly. That, and peanut butter in my opinion tastes almost as intensely as Kinder Bueno.

Ugh yes, that's frustrating as hell, but a million times better than LJ.

	Good point... and most definitely right about the mix of different ingredients altering/softening the peanut taste. Oh other peanutty thing I like is Picnic bars. Don't want to say so too loudly in case the spambots are listening, but have stopped getting the LJ notifs that were spam... at least for now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	littlepharaoh 2012-11-20 05:24 pm UTC (link)
	Ooh, Picnic! They stopped selling those over here years ago, which is a shame. I like Sneakers, but it's definitely too peanutty for you. Yeah, I haven't received any spambot notif for a while either. Maybe this recent wave has ended. keeps fingers crossed (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thatsmile 2012-11-20 05:38 pm UTC (link)
	Funnily enough I don't mind Snickers. Although since am not a fan of nutty chocolate they're something I only have veeeeery sporadically. crosses hers again And now proper Rémy entry is up. Now to make Samir flail a little by having Rémy comment on his artistic entry. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	XD Even though it's a compliment? ps: does ressemblance actually work as translation for likeness? only ask since not entirely sure he'd know that word or not (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	littlepharaoh 2012-11-20 06:07 pm UTC (link)
	Especially because it's a compliment. He'll start running around his dorm, flailing and going "ohmygod ohmygod ohmygod!" XD ~~Dooooo iiiiiiit.~~ PS: You know, I'm not sure. I think it might be too literal, though, meaning more the act of resembling rather than the artistic meaning of likeness. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thatsmile 2012-11-20 06:16 pm UTC (link)
	giggles ps: thought that might be the case. hmm maybe go instead for using french for drawing/sketch? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

And that icon isn't helping.

PS: Oh yes, that could definitely work. I seem to remember that the French word for sketch is esquisse - when I was little one of my aunts offered me a French version of Pictionary, ignoring the fact neither I nor my friends would be able to understand what's on the cards. For that reason I ended up never playing the thing, but the word was in box and stuck in my mind.

	I don't know what you mean. >.> ps: hehe the things that manage to stick in our minds. although that seems a very odd gift to receive if you aren't french or don't speak/read it fluently. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	littlepharaoh 2012-11-20 06:29 pm UTC (link)
	Suuure you don't. PS: I was always getting gifts like this from my French relations. I wouldn't have minded sweets or Barbie dolls, but noooo, I had to get books and board games I couldn't really understand. Ah well, at least my book of fairytales had cool illustrations. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thatsmile 2012-11-20 06:34 pm UTC (link)
	Nope, nooooot a clue at all. whistles innocently ps: ah. that makes sense, at least as to why you'd get gifts like that. nods sweets or barbies certainly would've been finer choice. giggles pictures make it all better huh? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Uh-huh.

PS: Well, the pictures helped me identify the fairytale, and since I already had them somewhere else I would just pick my Portuguese book while admiring the pictures in question and how they gave a different feel to the story. (You might remember me showing you some of those pictures, which at times could be rather creepy, like the Bluebeard one.) The book only became useful once I started learning French and I started practising my diction by reading it out loud to my cousins - if they started laughing at me, then I needed to correct my pronounciation.

	giggles Super Samir... ...Super Samir searches for Rémy's clothes. ...don't judge me, it's like 2:45am right now. ps: At least you could recognise the tales that way. (... yeah that bluebeard one was eh...) Aw that's a little mean... but definitely useful way of learning proper pronounciation and all. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	littlepharaoh 2012-11-20 06:53 pm UTC (link)
	Oh dear, that's not good. (On a different note, this might make you giggle as well?) PS: I think that's normal about French kids, at least those from the Greater Parisian region - and since I was used to it I didn't mind at all. (Plus our grandfather used to mock them when they made a mistake speaking Portuguese, so it's like we were even. :P) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thatsmile 2012-11-20 07:24 pm UTC (link)
	Most of the time I try to keep the bad words from coming out at this hour. (heee love it. And definitely interesting parallels indeed.) ps: ah okies. giggles hehe i guess that would make it even. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Wise, that. That said, you should go to bed asap! (I guess it means we don't need to watch BD2 if we have Larry Crowne and Legend of Korra - everything's there already! XD And, of course, War at Home gives us what could be interpreted as Benjamin/Jasper ~~though for obvious reasons I prefer to see it as something else~~.)

PS: I think that's the main problem in a mostly bilingual family - the communication failures usually go both ways.

	Unless, of course, the act of resembling something is exactly what you're intending. :) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thatsmile 2012-11-20 06:28 pm UTC (link)
	The intention was mostly Rémy wanting to say that it's a very good likeness of a squid/the giant squid. ps: don't remember why i have this icon when can't actually see his face. o.O (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	littlepharaoh 2012-11-20 06:32 pm UTC (link)
	Then it might work, I think. PS: I don't know either. Because he's staring at Samir looking adorable? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thatsmile 2012-11-20 06:42 pm UTC (link)
	Yay. I find it interesting that google translate suggests different meanings for ressemblance and ressemblant. o.O ps: That's probably it. I like this one where they both looks shy/unsure of what to do next. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	littlepharaoh 2012-11-20 06:43 pm UTC (link)
	Maybe it's just confused? PS: Yeah, that's a classic first-date awkwardness there. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Maybe? I'm using it as French-English.
Ressemblant gives...

like
adjective
true to life ressemblant

and ressemblance gives 'resemblance' but uggests that it's a noun o.O ...so considering Rémy's going for more descriptive compliment, that ressemblant might be the better option?

ps: oh yeah. I DON'T WANT TO HAVE SEX WITH YOU quote immediately popped into my head. lol

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	littlepharaoh 2012-11-20 06:55 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, I think ressemblance really is a noun. And that bit about ressemblant makes sense too. And that could definitely work. PS: sniggers That makes me laugh every time. (Reply to this) (Parent)
